In Friends of the Faux
Good Michael R. has been around TiFaux for quite a while. I was always excited about his comments, especially in the early days, because I was pretty sure no one from TiFaux knew him — making it seem like this blog is regularly read by people other than our friends.
He works at DHS, which means he could conceivably work in the office across the street from me. Which would be weird.
Vitals
Name: Michael R.
Location: Washington, DC
Web Site: N/A
What’s your story?: Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. Oh, you mean “my” story. Not much to it. Just another gay guy who likes TV-related websites.
What do you do during the day?: I work in the bureaucracy of a large component of a Federal Government department in charge of “Homeland” Security.
How do you know about TiFaux?: Not sure when I first discovered the wonder of TiFaux. Some time in the past 12 months?
Why are you so interesting?: Because I am me. More seriously, probably because I find so much of the world around me interesting.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel much safer knowing that someone who likes Thirtysomething and Star Trek is keeping the terrorists at bay. Great taste Michael! - Just keep Dick Cheney away from Heide.
Thanks, I do what I can. Now if we can only make it until the end of the Worst President (and Administration) Ever (which, now that I think of it, should have been my answer for the “shit” question).
Dan, I actually work above the Shops at National Place on F Street. Not sure what DHS office you work near.
just as an FYI, jess lives in park slope and is kind of a jackass.
(not really, but once maggie and i were at this thing and there was a guy who looked JUST LIKE him and we totally bonded over it and then after many other instances much like this she was named my favorite new person of 2006 and got a plaque and everything. oh and we told the guy he looked like a character on gilmore girls and the next day he shaved his head. true story.)
